## About Dex

Dex is a 2015 cyberpunk action-RPG developed by Dreadlocks Ltd. that tasks players with navigating a neon-soaked dystopian world as a young woman caught between rival factions. The game combines side-scrolling combat with Metroidvania-style vertical exploration, RPG statistics, quest branching, body-augmentation upgrades, and a hacking minigame. Players describe the atmosphere as contemplative and mysterious, with the cyberpunk setting feeling authentic to those familiar with the genre. Reviewers highlight how augmentations unlock new areas, making progression feel meaningful, and note that side quests often feel like mini-stories within the larger narrative. Priced at $19.99, this solo-only experience offers challenging gameplay across a medium-length campaign and holds an 84% positive rating from nearly 1500 Steam reviews.
